What a great way to support our church...have a yard sale.
Others did all the work setting these wares out for great buys. I had one of those weeks where I had to stay away from chemicals in the air, including cleaning things I wanted to donate. So I made up for it by buying a few.
I had no idea what some of those kitchen gadgets were!
It was located under the trees in the shade...and everything would be half price at noon. I was gone by 11:00, and couldn't wait in case someone else wanted what I had my eyes on...
This cute cabinet with three drawers and a cupboard with a shelf. It took about 5-6 of the stronger people from the church to figure out two different car trunks weren't wide enough, and to finally load it into a small pickup truck bed, and follow me driving back to the apartment, where they brought it right into my bedroom for me. It was awkward, heavy, and also fragile with a cardboard back...What wonderful generous people they are!
And I finally got duct tape to repair the back where cutouts were perforated for electronics...and one part had split a bit. You can see it at the bottom of bottom shelf...it was reinforced on the outer side, where tape had more trouble sticking. Anyway, it's not going anywhere for a while now.
I had to skootch it over a bit to use the closet door, but it will allow access this way.

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour new cabinet is pretty. It is great the yard sale is held for the church. Take care, enjoy your day!
Thanks, I'm slowly getting used to it, and figuring what will go inside.
DeleteNice new cabinet. Good find there!
ReplyDeleteI'm a happy camper, as they used to say!
DeleteIt looks like such a nice woodsy venue, and they gave you good help to get that thing home.
ReplyDeleteI would not have been able to buy it if they hadn't offered to bring it to my house...which after all is 1/2 mile away.
DeleteLove your fantastic find. I think I have cabinet Envy...I could really use a unit like that. Church sales are the best. Hubby and I have always been involved in our church sales. Its a great way to meet new friends and involve the community too.
